Their trenchant observations about marriage and parenting build to a moving conclusion that's marred ever so slightly by a Hollywood ending that feels like the second act break from a Katherine Heigl movie. http://www.amazon.com/My-Hollywood-Mona-Simpson/dp/0307273520 http://www.highindustrial.com/source/2010/08/my_hollywood.html read Mon, 16 Aug 2010 11:18:48 -0800 Todd Solondz's twenty-first century oeuvre has tended to be experimental and workshoppy. In that regard, Life During Wartime is more of a reckoning with 1998's Happiness than a conventional sequel. It's thoughtfully presented and ably performed but it lacks the original's spark of cinematic vitality.
